Forex Market

Direct trading of foreign currencies is accomplished through the FOREX market, sometimes abbreviated as FX. The FOREX is the world's largest and most liquid market with over $3 TRILLION average daily volume. Trading the FOREX may be beneficial to provide diversity from such traditional investments vehicles as real estate or stocks.

And what is traded?  Not stocks, not bonds, nothing like that. MONEY is traded.  When you trade the FOREX, you buy one currency while selling another.  You might, for instance, trade this pair:  USD/JPY, which would be buying the U.S. dollar while selling the Japanese yen.

There is no central trading location for the FOREX, which operates electronically through an interbank network.  It has been available to individuals as a financial tool only since 1998.  Before then, traders consisted of banks and other major financial institutions such as hedge funds.  To trade as an individual required $10M.
